A seated figure in a white dhoti and white shawl with a white turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, hands raised in a gesture of greeting or blessing, under a large backdrop poster of Hindu deities against a blue sky and snowy peaks. The deities shown include Shiva with a trident and a seated goddess with lotuses, Ganesha, a figure with a veena, and Lakshmi in red. A gold parasol hangs above the throne, a decorated umbrella stands at right, and a bright studio light is at the left edge. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, as the cues are limited to a white turban and white clothing.
